Application filed November 24, 1909. Serial No. 529,757.

To all 'whom 'it 'may concem: z

Be it known that I, BRADY MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lansing, in the county of Ingham and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Sink-Frame, of which the following is a specification.

It is the 'object of this invention to provide, in a simple, merchantable, and inexpensive form, a bracket, adapted preferably to be mounted upon the studding of a building, for the support of a sink, a pump, and the like, the bracket being peculiarly adapted for the use of plumbers and sanitary engineers.

VVith the above, and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement described, delineated in the accompanying drawings, and specifically claimed; it being understood, that, since thedrawings show but one 'form of the invention, changes, properly falling within the scope of What is claimed, may be made, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Similar numerals of reference are employed to denote corresponding parts throughouttheseveral figures of the drawings, wherein;--

Figure 1 .shows the invention in perspectlve mounted upon the wall of a building; Fi'g. 2 is a Vertical transverse section of the showing of Fig. 1 parts being in elevation; Fig. 3 is a etail perspective of one' of the members which enter into the construction of the bracket, the member be'- -ing extended at full length and shown in the form which it will occupy previous-to being bent into the desired shape; and Fig. 4 is a detail perspective adapted to illustrate more clearly than in the preceding figures, Vthe manner in which the tie 'is adapted to be` assembled with other portions of the bracket.

In the following description, the term angle iron ployed in its commonly accepted sense, to define the shape of one of the members` of the brackets, and not as a term of limitation, to signify, that, of necessity, the said` member must be fashioned from 1ron, any other flexible metal being equally applicable for the purpose.

In thev dr'awings, in order to illustrate clearl the application of the device, the studdmg 1 of a building is shown, upon of parts hereinafter is used, the same being em-v which is superposed the wall structure 2, the same consisting, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, of laths 3 and the plaster 4.

The primary element of the structure consists of a length of angle iron, in one flange 7 of which there are V shaped notches 8. In the other flange 5 of the angle iron, between the notches 8, are other, arcuafite notches 6.

In order to fashion the bracketxthe angle iron is, in the first instance, bent 1n a common plane so that the edges of the notches 6. will close partially together as shown at 9. This operation will result in 'the formation of the platform 10 of the bracket. The ends of the angle iron are then bent at right angles to the plane of the platform 10, to form legs 12, the notches 8 closing together as shown at 11..

1 A .tie 14 is provided, and this tie is like- Wise fashioned from a length of angle iron, Referring to'Fig. 4 of the drawings, it will be seen that one flange 15 of the tie 14 is adapted to extend beneath the flange 5 of the platform 10 adjacent the legs 12, the other flange 16 of the tie 14 being cut away Vas denoted lby the numeral 17 tol form a shoulder adapted to receive the flange portion 5 of the leg 12, the flange 15 .of the tie 14 and the flange 5 of the platform 10 being provided w1th openings 18, adapted to receive retaining elements 19, whereby the ti'e'14 may be assembled With the platform 10.

For'the support of` the platform 10, diagonally disposed braces 20 are provided.

VThese braces 20 at their upper ends are secured in any desiredmanner to the flange 7 of the platform 10, and at their lower ends,

'are secured to the flange 7 of the legs 12.

p vAt any suitable points, the flange 15 of the'tie 14 is provided with notches 21 adapted'to receive the hot and cold'water pipes,

'it' being recalled that the device is primarily v'useful in supporting a sink or the like. `'(Dpenings 22 may be provided in the flange i :16 of the tie 14, whereby if desired, the

- bracket, through the medium ofthe tie, may bemounte'd upon'the. wall 2. The flanges 5 vof the legs v12 are also provided with open- -1ngs, denoted by the numeral 23, whereby retalning elements may be inserted through the legs 12 into the studding 1, the device being, if desired, of such dimension that the legs 12 shall aline with the studding 1.

)wing to the fact that the notches 8 are V shaped, they close closely together as shown in Fig. 1, the edges of the flange 7 abutting. By this construction, the strength of the device is increased, the same being better adapted to support any weight which may be superposed upon it. As there is no specific advantage in having the edges of the tlange 5 come into abutment adjacent the notches 6 therein, these notches are made arcuate, defining in the platform 10, the openings shown at 9, which said openings are adapted to receive screws, lugs or the like, whereby the article which is superposed upon the platform 10 may be assembled' therewith.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A supporting bracket fashioned from an angle iron having a pair of notches in oneof its fianges and a pair of notches in its other flange located between the first named notches, the angle being bent in a common plane at the last named notches to define the platform of the bracket, and being bent at the first named notches to form legs kone of its fianges and a 2. A supporting bracket fashioned from 2 having a pair of notches in pair of notches in its other flange located beneath the first named notches, the iron being bent in a common plane at the last named notches to define the platform of the bracket, and being bent at the first named notches to form legs disposed normal to the plane of the platform; a tie fashoned from angle iron,

an angle iron one fiange thereof being terminally extended beneath the platform adjacent the legs, the other flange thereof being terminally cut away to form a shoulder to receive the legs; and retaining elements connecting the platform with the fiange of the tie member therebeneath.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signaturev in the presence of two witnesses.
